Okay, so I want to get some music playing when I start combat in my area. Problem is, I can't really find where this is controlled. I thought maybe something to do with 2DAs, but from poking around I didn't see anything that looked like 'specify the combat music for this area.' There doesn't seem to be any code for playing music in the area scripts.

I was looking through some old threads about this and I tried

        case EVENT_TYPE_COMBAT_INITIATED:
        {
            PlayMusic("BC_fade/combat"); //Also tried "music/BC_fade/combat"
        }
        case EVENT_TYPE_COMBAT_END:
        {
            StopMusic("BC_fade/combat");
        }

but that does not work.

Ah, music in Dragon Age, the bane of my existence... So, here's what I know:

* When looking at your area's properties, you'll see a section called Music Preset. You'll get values in the combo box, like Arl Eamon & Arl Eamon Blacksmith.

* If you look up those files under Sounds -> music -> Arl Eamon, you'll see some files, such as combat, Death, & main. All the other pieces of music follow this format, more or less.

* If you setup your area to use this music preset (utilizing the Music Volume settings), when combat beings, you'll hear the battle music. At least, I do anyway...

In short, it looks like the game assumes this specific format for your music. I've tried to emulate this with custom music, with no luck. See this thread for my own frustrations.

As a workaround, I've created one hell of a hack, by using sounds objects, instead of music for all my music needs. Hopefully, someone from Bioware can help clear this up at some point.

EDIT - I haven't had luck with PlayMusic() either. Someone (Craig?) said that the toolset should have shipped with a music editor or something, so you could find the right paths to all the music, and even preview it from within the toolset.

Hrm. That does get the battle music playing, but it plays the normal music as well. I might try dumping something in the override folder to make it not play the main music.

Does this work for you? Without "break", the EVENT_TYPE_COMBAT_INITIATED is executing the StopMusic() part as well.

        case EVENT_TYPE_COMBAT_INITIATED:
        {
            PlayMusic("BC_fade/combat"); //Also tried "music/BC_fade/combat"
            break;
        }
        case EVENT_TYPE_COMBAT_END:
        {
            StopMusic("BC_fade/combat");
            break;
        }
